The story of the relationship between the most devastating
heavyweight boxer in history and the mentor who made him. When
legendary boxing trainer Cus D'Amato saw thirteen-year-old Mike
Tyson spar in the ring, he proclaimed 'That's the heavyweight
champion of the world'. D'Amato played a huge role in Tyson's
formative years, legally adopting him at age sixteen, and shaping
him both physically and mentally after years of living in poverty.
He would train the young boxer for several years, dying just months
before Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history.
In Iron Ambition, Tyson shares the life lessons that D'Amato passed
down to him and reflects on how the trainer's words of wisdom
continue to resonate with him outside the ring. The book also
chronicles Cus's courageous fight against the mobsters who
controlled boxing, revealing more than we've ever know about this
singular cultural figure.
